SUMMARY 

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Housing for Health (HFH) division manages a continuum of housing and supportive services countywide that includes street outreach, interim housing, permanent supportive housing, benefits advocacy, and clinical services.

HFH works to improve patients’ health, reduce costs to the public health system, and demonstrate Health Services’ commitment to addressing homelessness within Los Angeles County. HFH has expanded its services to some the County’s other most vulnerable populations thanks to the investment of resources by the Board of Supervisors, other County departments, and the voter-approved Measure H sales tax that provides a 10-year revenue source to fund housing and services to prevent and combat homelessness. HFH now includes over 600 staff who provide direct services and oversee the administration of more than $700 million in housing and services to over 50,000 vulnerable LA County residents annually.
